Legacies help us with our goals after we’ve passed because they have the power to inspire action and the give our ideals an chance to live on through others. Given the magical potential of legacies, we wanted to support and foster conversations around legacy building and below you’ll find some of those conversations.

The Legacy I want to leave behind is how just one person’s life story can affect/effect Change on a global level. I feel it’s important for people to be able to witness someone who didn’t have the best life hand dealt to them but still their journey to turn it around can take on a role that would positively affect the lives of many others. I hope that people will celebrate my life by living in their truth and hope they will remember me for this as well.  Read more>>

I aspire to leave behind a legacy rooted in integrity, strength, beauty, intelligence, and kindness. My hope is to be remembered not just for my creativity but for my fairness and honesty in everything I do. From a business perspective, I want to be seen as a strategic, influential power player and nail educator. I hope the techniques and knowledge I share continue to shape and inspire the industry long after I’m gone. Read more>>

We didn’t start our company with the goal of being the biggest and most successful home inspection company in town. At the time, we were both working full-time, and had a then almost two-year-old that we weren’t spending as much time with as we wanted. We’re not planning on having any more children, and it really hit us one day that we’re never going to get this time back. Our main goal with moving to working for ourselves, was to have the flexibility and control over our own schedule to prioritize him. That is the main part of we want our legacy to be, that we did what we needed to, even when it was harder and scarier, to be able to make our time with our family our top priority. That being said, we also pride ourselves on our communication with our clients, and the service that we deliver. We will do whatever we can to provide a great experience in a timely fashion, where everyone is kept in the loop about what’s going to be happening. Read more>>

As someone who works toward building a legacy, that mirrors my everyday ideals of ambition mixed with compassionate realism, this question resonates with me. Besides the obvious of bringing happiness and making people feel good on the most important days of their lives- I hope people remember how much I truly love what I do. Not only do I get to play a role in special days- I am a listening ear for a lot of big life moments. I hope people remember that I care about them, their family and their life. As important as it is for me to execute their desired looks… I also care deeply that people are doing well and are happy before and beyond that moment. Read more>>

I want people to remember me as a caring, intelligent helper. I want to enrich other people’s lives by helping them think through life’s “what-if’s” and prepare for the unexpected. I want my customers to confidently trust they have an advocate who will go along side with to help them through what may come. Read more>>

I believe photography is more than capturing moments—it’s about preserving stories for future generations and inspiring others to pursue their dreams. My goal is for couples to look back on their wedding photos decades from now, sharing those cherished memories with their children and grandchildren. Perhaps those images will even inspire the next artist or photographer in their family. If my work can evoke joy, nostalgia, and a profound sense of connection, then I’ve succeeded in creating something truly meaningful. Read more>>

One of my favorite quotes is by Maya Angelou and it says, “You have no idea what your legacy will be because your legacy is every life you touch.” As an author, my prayer is that my books inspire everyone who reads them especially women. As a speaker, when I speak at conferences mostly filled with victims and survivors of domestic violence, I want my words to encourage the women that are listening to not be afraid to use to take their life back. When people see me or read one of my books, I want to inspire them to go after the life God created them for. I really don’t care what people say about me, but I do want to be remembered as a woman who found her voice. A woman who walked by faith. A woman who was fierce and courageous. A woman who did not live in the shame of the trauma I endured from my past. I want to be remembered as a victor and not a victim. Read more>>
